we got the problem with multiple entries for the same album (esp. sampler-cds) solved...
reason was the old bs/bm5 software version:
it grouped tracks by "interpret" while the new software version (v5.00) groups it by "album interpret".

Could you explain this a little bit more? Do you mean the software update for the Beomaster 5 / Beosound 5 provided via internet or a software on the host computer (Mac/PC)?
Now you see just ONE album even if it is a sampler, soundtrack or s.th. else?
This would save a lof of work :-)
What if NO album interpret is existing? Does it sort the music correct?
And can someone confirm a bug in the player software?
If you choose e.g. "Track 3" of album x I am NOT able to skip to the next track of the album - it's like "repeat one".
Do you have the same problem?
Thank you

Our Dealers' technician updated BS/BM5 to SW v5.0

yepp, one album per album - works even for sampler cds

by default, all our sampler cds with mutliple interprets are tagged "various artists" in album interpret

its not a bug, its a feature ;-))
my experience is
1. if I'd like to hear the entire album, choose the album
2. if I'd chosen a special track, MOTS starts after BS5 played the chosen track (but this works only if BS5/BM5 had enough time to analyse the track. if I'd copied a new album from the host pc to BS5/BM5 recently, MOTS does not work until the track is analyzed.
Thank you very much for your helpful answer!
So it's time to connect that thing to the internet and update its software.
I was told this week that the BM5 is updated via the internet twice a week ... I hope that is just the planned schedule and not reality !
Anyway, if I had a BM5 I would simply have it permantely connected ...
Hmm, it seems as vogelrs Beosound 5 seems to be ahead of time.
My Beomaster 5 installed a softwareupdate yesterday and now it says Version 4.x in service mode ...
The problem is solved partially: Some albums show up repeatedly in album and cover mode and some don't!?
I'm experimenting (right word?) with it ...
It's worth noting that it's not updated twice a week, but it checks for updates twice a week.

info: our BM5 updated from SW v5.00 to v5.01 last week
it's not possible for me:
I connected it to the internet today and checked manualy for new software in the service menu: No new software available!
Beomaster / Beosound Software is still 4.x
Does anyone else have the same problem?
